We chat with Winnipeg-based garden educator Dave Hanson, co-host of The Grow Guide Podcast, and founder of Sage Garden Greenhouses.

Hanson, who spent time in his youth in a tropical climate, has been growing herbs and spices since his childhood, eventually working at a herb nursery as a teenager.

He loves growing exotic edible plants.

His Winnipeg climate means that frost-sensitive plants can come out June 1, and be back under cover in time for the first fall frost in late September. That doesn’t stop him.

Hanson gives his tips for growing:

  • guava

  • yacon

  • starfruit

  • cinnamon

  • curry leaf

  • black pepper
